Carey Olsen ranked as top offshore law firm for LSE clients for 15th year
CAREY OLSEN has remained the leading offshore law firm for London Stock Exchange clients for the 15th year running in the latest edition of an industry guide.
The Corporate Advisers Rankings Guide shows the firm now advises 91 LSE clients – 80 more than in 2005 when the guide was first published. That is more than double the number of clients advised by the next nearest offshore law firm. In addition, Carey Olsen was also named as the leading offshore legal adviser to FTSE 250, AIM and financial and real estate sector clients.
‘To have been the leading offshore legal adviser to LSE clients for the past 15 years is a fantastic achievement. As the figures show, we have experienced extraordinary growth during that time,’ said partner Ben Morgan, head of Carey Olsen’s corporate and finance practice in Guernsey.
‘We have the largest offshore corporate team to service clients in this sector, advising on IPOs, secondary capital raisings, schemes of arrangement, capital reorganisations and reconstructions.
‘The figures also show the attractiveness of using offshore vehicles when companies choose to list on global stock exchanges like the LSE. Particularly in the offshore public funds sector, institutions are attracted by the proportionate regulatory regimes, the depth of legal expertise and experience available, the calibre of the corporate service providers, including administrators, auditors and custodians, and the stable political and legal structure.’
